Love Your Watershed Day

WHAT A DAY! The third annual Love Your Watershed Day was a huge success! More than 350+ people showed up to De Vargas Park on Saturday, May 10th to celebrate, connect, and take action for our local watershed!

A big shoutout to our partners at the City of Santa Fe’s River and Watershed Section for hosting the event with us, our incredible tabling partners for their delightful and educational activities, our dedicated volunteers and river cleanup crew, and wonderful musicians for bringing so much energy, joy, and purpose to the day.
